Description
Ectoine is derived from high halophage bacteria, so it is also called salt-tolerant bacteria extract. Ectoine is an amino acid derivative and belongs to the extreme enzyme component. It has a strong water molecule capture, complexation ability, and can structure the free water in the cell. It has a powerful cell repair and anti-inflammatory repair function. It can increase the cell repair ability, repair the cell DNA damage caused by ultraviolet light, and have a good repair effect on the light damage caused by ultraviolet light.
